Google Analytics fail

I use Google Analytics for site statistics, and I have for some time suspected that not all was right with the numbers. Today I am certain.

Yesterday, almost 130% of all visits here were by people who had not visited before. In other words, for every 10 visits by someone (perhaps the same person more than once) 13 visits were first timers.

Hmmm?

I'm pretty sure that somehow, through the mystic energy of the cosmos or angel farts or somesuch, every time I check your site, three people who don't even have internet are treated to a magical vision of your latest post. That *must* account for the data.

Pleiotropy comes from the Greek πλείων pleion, meaning "more", and τρέπειν trepein, meaning "to turn, to convert". It designates the occurrence of a single gene affecting multiple traits, and is a hugely important concept in evolutionary biology.

I'm a postdoc at UC Santa Barbara.

All Many aspects of evolution interest me, but my research focus is currently on microbial evolution, adaptive radiation, speciation, fitness landscapes, epistasis, and the influence of genetic architecture on adaptation and speciation.
